There is a chance of getting caught up in a dragonet. To avoid unnecessary complications this year, perhaps do not linger too long to smell the roses, snapdragons, hydrangeas or mandrakes. Some of the world is a jungle with flamethrowers out there and your ability to be blamed for floods, earthquakes and typhoons will ensure that no-one forgets about you. Rake your whiskers and trim the talons, it is a good year to charm others rather than incinerate them.

If you have spent the winter under the earth, then you will be in need of some tonics when you come up for air next year. Check into a spa, in Valdragone if you are nearby, and remember to always hydrate well. Do not forget you are a creature of the east: sunrise, fertility, thunder and rain are your calling cards, so embark on your dragon-boat and sail off into health.
A sense that you are drawing down on some of your hard-earned money? It may not be entirely accurate. The cosmic scales are fairly balanced this year, and the idea that you are free falling is only on account of not rising as fast as you would like. The winds are not buffering you with their hungry breath, the serpentine course of the year should be one you can comfortably float on.
For those dragons who may be single, you may find it is a year where you remain so; for those in a relationship there may be moments where you feel estranged. Of course, not only dragons are capable of flight. Yet, it is not you and it is not them, it is nothing more than the turning of the universe. This year the Lonesome Constellation Star is influencing matters of the fiery heart; we know that dragons can encircle the world and there is perhaps a little of that for you this year.
Lest you be shoehorned into a professional position that does not suit you, perhaps leave the talons in the cupboard rather than assuming overt self-expression. The Eight Executives Star is with you this year, and while you will not get to become all eight of them, the portents are good for others to recognise your distinguished talents. The clouds of the upper echelon beckon.
